I have never dealt with a company as unprofessional and disorganized as Creative Artist International. As a professional who has legitimate experience in the legal support field, specifically immigration law, I worry deeply about the individuals who have entrusted their hard-earned money to the clearly un-qualified team here. 

I have provided my freelance legal writing services to Creative Artist International on and off since 2015. Up until now, they have always paid for my services, however late those payments may have been received. In May 2017, I provided a finished draft of one visa petition letter and the first draft of another. I charged CAI $300 per case; as of this writing, I have received only $188 of the $600 I am due. While I recognize their argument that one of the cases was not completed, that does not constitute an excuse for ignoring me and refusing payment for nearly five months. I have continuously offered to settle with CAI and resolve this issue without going public; instead, I have been repeatedly lied to and ignored. One day someone is walking to Western Union to send my payment, the next a check is in the mail. At the end of the day, I have received nothing but a partial payment on one case. 

Based on my first-hand experience working with these two, I would advise any prospective customers against agreeing to their services. Obtaining an O-1 visa in our current political climate is no easy feat; any aspiring artist looking to undertake such a venture would be better off going to a legitimate law firm that can actually provide legal advice.
